does the "RDTSC" instruction work in an lguest guest? If not, then the 
lguest kernel is correct in not exposing it - and then the solution is 
to build a non-TSC guest kernel. Does the patch below help?

but if the RDTSC instruction does work in an lguest guest, then the 
proper approach would be to expose it in the CPU features.
